Iphone remote app and itunes

All seemed to be going well until - the updates.
Now my iphone will not recognize my itunes libraries. I deleted the library link from the iPhone remote app and even told itunes to forget all remotes. Back to my iphone to set up as a remote - again. The iphone generates the 4 digit code, itunes even recognizes the iphone, allows me to enter the code, and returns the screen that I can now start using the iphone as a remote. --- Back to the iphone - and the remote app can "find the library" - What gives? Help
<edited by host>

Revelation, do you mean complete restore of the iPhone and all contents thereof? Or the Mac?
I have deleted the application "Remote" from the iPhone, and I have re-installed it. Each time the application will work for a limited time, and then it loses the ability to locate the library.
I continue to suspect IP addresses as the source of the problem, and wonder if the addresses must be static on both devices in order for them to maintain a connection. However, I find it odd that iTunes can register the presence of the iPhone enough to list it in the "devices" pane (therefore, I assume that the two devices are communicating over my network) but then the iPhone fails to locate the iTunes library.
Other applications (Briefcase Lite, for example) seem to be able to conduct over-the-network business without difficulty.

Remote App and iTunes not syncing

I'm trying to get the Remote.app and the iTunes DJ to sync so that I can control my computer library from iPod Touch. However, the icon for remote does not appear in the iTunes tray under my iPod in "Devices." How can I fix this?
For starters it is a 2.2 version iPod (volume rocker version) and I have the 3.0 firmware on it. My iTunes is the current 8.2 version. I also already have "Look for iPhone and iPod Touch Remotes" checked in my preferences in iTunes. I do have a wireless connection and both my laptop and iPod are connected to it properly. My iPod was connected before, but accidentally. I removed another computer from the library list and now it won't connect.

Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

Change apple ID in iPhone for apps and iTunes

I put my old apple ID in my phone when I set it up. The approval email went to an email address that is no longer in use. Now I cant figure out how to change my apple ID in my phone to my new apple ID. I see how to change the iCloud apple ID but all of my apps and iTunes is still tied to my old one.

Remote App and iTunes Movies Library

I am using the remote app on my iPhone and iPad to control iTunes.
Everything works fine, but what I do not understand is, why does the remote app not list all movies in my iTunes? It only lists H.264 files, but not MPEG-4 files. All of them are listed in iTunes and it plays both filetypes without any issue.
Why is this?

Having exactly the same issue with my .mpg files. This was the main reason I installed Remote.

Remote app and iTunes 12

My iTunes library no longer appears in my remote app. I know it is not a Home Sharing issue because the library is linked to my Apple TV. However, it won't appear in my remote app on my iPhone 6 or my iPad Air. Hasn't worked since the update to iTunes 12.

I’ve been researching similar issues for the better part of a week. Bottom line: Cycling power (unplugged for 30 seconds+) on my Airport Extreme (not necessarily my Verizon FIOS broad and router) solved the problem for me.
Here are the issues I was trying to fix (similar to others on the board):
1) Airplay stopped working at some point in recent time. The icon disappeared from my iOS devices when they were in my home network
2) Apple Remote App for IOS stopped working on my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1) and iPad Air (IOS 7)
As noted by others, my iTunes home sharing continued to work, and I was able to stream music, movies, etc. to my two Generation 2 Apple TVs
Over the last few days, I tried the following:
a) Cycling power on my ActionTec router
b) Upgrading my iPhone to iOS 8
c) Reseting my apple TVs
c) Restoring one of my gen 2 AppleTVs to factory original settings
d) Hard resets on my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad Air)
e) Uninstalling the Remote App from my iPhone and reinstalling it
f) Turning off Home Sharing, and turning it back on again
Most of the reports I found on this board while researching the issue correlated the above loss in functionality with the iOS 8+ upgrade and/or the recent upgrade to iTunes 12. That could be the case for many, but it was not the case for me. Whatever it was, the issue was resolved when (and only when) I cycled power on my Airport Extreme.
I had my airport extreme set to automatic updates, so I’m not sure if/when Apple pushed out an update in the recent pass that caused the functionality to be lost.
Hope this helps!
P.S. Is there any place I can see when Apple last pushed out an update to Airport Extreme?

Remote app and iTunes Radio question

Am I missing something or are we not able to control the iTunes Radio with the Remote Application for iPod Touch/iPhone?
I can control my music library obviously with the Remote app, but I see no where in the app to control the Radio.
If I sit at my iMac and select/play a radio station and then look at my iPhone running Remote, I can see that it's play the radio station, but I can't select other radio stations from the Remote app. I stream music from iTunes to several speakers throughout my home and would love to be able to control the Radio from anywhere in the house much like I do my iTunes library.

Can I run the radio from my laptop?
I'm not sure I understand your question. The only place you can run iTunes from is a computer, either laptop or desktop. iTunes Radio is part of iTunes so you run it from your computer.
If that doesn't answer your question, let me know and I'll try again.

Apple Remote App and iTunes

Hi
I've got the latest software on iTunes and my Remote App for iPhone and iPad. I've noticed from tint to time that when selecting the source in the Remote App (I.e. whether to play music / films etc from iTunes or my AppleTV I notice the icon for iTunes DJ appears (icon is several CDs stacked on each other). This only appears very occasionally and I have no idea what triggers its appearance. I would have though it should appear there all the time.
Anybody have any clues as to what is happening and why?
Thanks

Hi,
I have had and fixed a similar issue;
Setup;
Linksys ADSL router/model (4 port wired and wireless)
LAN Network = 192.168.0.x
Mac Mini wired into the router (on same LAN)
Airport Express wireless (driving my stereo speakers and acting as a wireless client on the same LAN)
Apple iPhone 3GS wireless with Apple Remore app
iTunes 9.blah (last 9.x version before 10 havent upg yet, iTunes all configured to use airtunes, remote speakers and remote app etc)
Now It will all work fine and dandy at first then if i stop itunes (and the remote app disconnects) after a while (5 to 10 mins) the mac goes to sleep to save power.
The mac doesnt wake up again to accept the connection from the remote app.
So I found an apple support article (cant find it now) that suggested that I set the "wake on lan" feature, this wakes the mac and itunes if the mac has slept. Its in the system preferences / energy saver (its something like "wake on lan" or "wake on network")
This fixes it for me.
Cheers

(iPhone) Remote app and internet radio

Does anyone know why the Remote app does not show the (internet) Radio tag in iTunes, when all others are present (except the Apps tag)?
This of course is to remotely cause the computer to play internet Radio over the house WiFi & Express - not to get Radio on the iPhone itself. There seems no obvious reason for this tag being missing from the control set - or is there something wrong with my setup? (but it works from iTunes on the computer).

You can create a Playlist called RADIO and drag all of the internet radio stations (or the ones you want) into that and it works fine. Works for Front Row too if you have a Mac. The only issue is that some radio stations change URL now and again, so the list can go out of date.

Remote App and iTunes wont work! Please help.

I am having a really hard time making the remote app work with my HP laptop. I have a Mac that connects flawlessly through my remote app but the HP just wont see my phone. I have done everything possible with firewall settings but still can not connect. Please advise on what I might be doing wrong.

Usually when this happens either quicktime is not installed properly OR you have the Qoologic adware on the PC.
So first we will scan the system for adware. A good program for catching the Qoologic adware (Which affects iTUnes) is Ewido. You can download and install it here http://www.ewido.com Just scan the system and if it finds adware, have it remove it.

Remote App and iTunes issue

I have a Windows MC machine I'm using in my living room. I recently had to reinstall Windows because I was having some minor issues. After reinstalling, I downloaded iTunes.

I've disabled the firewall, set all the preferences as needed... EVERYTHING SEEMS right. iTunes is seeing shared libraries... it just doesn't see my remote. Please help!

Have had the exact same problem since the last iTunes update came through. remote worked just fine before that.

Hi,
Since I upgraded the Remote software to version 1.3.3 (4) it seems that when I'm browsing the music Library of my Apple TV, I can click on any artist and or album. So far so good, but after selecting, the tracktitle is shown on top of the screen, but the track is not loaded and cannot be played.
If I unplug my Apple TV then it works again, but after browsing and changing tracks 1 or 2 times, the bug occurs again.
Martijn I've read your the post and tried to delete the songs/artists that have the word 'Edit' in it, re-synchronized the apple TV with my iTunes Library, but no luck for me.

ITunes and iPhone 'Remote' app, only plays one song at a time

Using iPhone 'Remote' app to control iTunes on Mac. I click on Albums, select an album, select the first track, it plays and then stops and goes back to the albums list. I've tried every conceivable combination of the little icons for Shuffle and track repeat, nothing changes this, it always plays just the track and select and then it's done, it goes back to the tracks list. I've spent hours researching this and cannot get it to work. Thanks for any help.

Hi, although unchecking tracks is one way to manage what gets put on your device it has other side effects that make it less effective than the use of selected playlists. I generally use unchecking for marking tracks I'd usually want to ignore, such as bonus interview tracks on an album, or podcasts that aren't compatible with my device.
It is much easier to use playlists rather than check boxes to manage the content. There is no need to make a series of ad hoc playlists however. You'll need two, one of which you can throw away later. Create a new smart playlist with the rules *Playlist is Music* and the option *Match only checked items* ticked. Call it Checked. Now create regular playlist and call it, for example, Sync. Select all the tracks in Checked (cmd-A I think) and drag them into Sync.
Now you can go to your main music library and cmd-click on an empty checkbox to check all of your tracks so the unchecked behaviour no longer interferes with playback. Change your sync options so that the device syncs with your new playlist. In future you can manage the content by adding and removing things from this list instead of checking and unchecking them.

Music does not play on Iphone when using the Remote app for Itunes , is this normall.

Hi all,
I am using the remote App for ITunes on my IPhone 5,I can get the phone to operate
ITunes perfectly but there is no audio coming from the phone, I am having a party and I
want to play the same playlist throughout the house without having it up at full volume.
I was hoping to leave the laptop downstairs and plug the IPhone into a stereo upstairs.
If this is normal ...........
Is it possible to load the playlist on to 2 computers , and have them playing the same music
simultaneously.
Any suggestions please

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...
